The Fall

I've been good-time drunk
Enough to be bad-time sober
Broke a map dot's heart when it disappeared over my shoulder
I've been headstrong, rightin' dead-end wrong
Good with God, but I dropped the ball
Spent my whole life holdin' on
But even when I fell off
The ride was worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
Tears were worth the miles
Miles were worth the pain
Pain was worth it all
It's all worth this life
The life is worth the ride
The ride is worth the fall
Had some 'nowhere-near-it's'
And some 'almost-was's'
Left some mommas in tears, and
Some daddies still cussin'
'Cause what I shoulda done and what I coulda been
Even knowin' now what I didn't know then
I'd climb back on again
The ride is worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
Tears were worth the miles
Miles were worth the pain
Pain was worth it all
It's all worth this life
The life is worth the ride
The ride is worth the fall, oh, oh, oh!
The ride was worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
Tears were worth the miles
Miles were worth the pain
Pain was worth it all
It's all worth this life
Life is worth the ride
The ride is worth the fall, oh, oh, oh!
